marinessIt's not an understatement to say that Roger Ebert taught me to watch movies.
Oh, sure, I'd seen movies. I loved movies. But Ebert, in his various passionate film reviews, showed me what to look for. He could often be wrong about films. He was more often right, and it was thanks to him that I discovered so many beautiful, wonderful moments on film. I collected the books of his film reviews and read them and worked on narrative and found movies to look for.
I hope wherever you are, Mr. Ebert, you can still enjoy a big bucket of popcorn, a Coke, and movies in the company of friends.
